History

Six Flags AstroWorld closed on October 30, 2005.^[1] Six Flags relocated many of the park's rides to other Six Flags properties, while others were put up for auction or demolished for scrap. Tidal Wave was sent to Six Flags Great Escape along with Serial Thriller in late December 2005 where it was put into storage. It was never rebuilt however and was eventually scrapped.^[2]
